Activision Shuts Down Call Of Duty Cheat Services Prior to Verdansk’s Comeback

Four Call of Duty cheater providers have reportedly shut down, with the timing notably coming just ahead of the upcoming launch of Season 3 for Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Call of Duty has recently struggled with cheaters, and with Verdansk’s big return to Warzone next month, no one wants hackers ruining the fun.

This report comes from Call of Duty content creator LunchTime, who used social media to share that four Call of Duty cheat providers confirmed to have shut down this week. The details can be seen in the tweet below.

Activision has yet to comment on the shutdowns of these cheat providers, but the publisher recently released an extreme warning to Call of Duty cheaters about account sharing, reminding players that selling accounts is a violation of the Call of Duty terms of use. These sold accounts can be perma-banned.

Despite the efforts of Call of Duty’s Ricochet anti-cheat, cheating has been so rampant in Black Ops 6 and Warzone that Activision finally gave players the ability to disable cross-play for Ranked Play modes.

However, more anti-cheat updates are planned for Call of Duty. Activision recently revealed that a new Ricochet blog will be released closer to the launch of Season 3, which will highlight new anti-cheat technology and account security updates.

Season 3 arrives to Black Ops 6 and Warzone on April 3, returning the OG Verdansk map to Warzone along with fan-favorite Call of Duty operators from previous Black Ops and Modern Warfare and games. Season’s 3’s Zombies map is called Shattered Veil, and we recently learned more about its location and story implications..
